This trail is a trial:
I’ve wheeled myself
through impossible
terrains, battled
unforgiving odds
regained purpose…
Is this resilience
or a stubborn refusal
to surrender, and…
who will dare criticize?

Stubborn refusal to surrender…is a good thing but sometimes it can make one so weary. May you remain undefeated by trials, VJ.
